PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Sketch plan application #SD‐19‐02 of Antonio B. Pomerleau, LLC and Blue Dragonfly, LLC to resubdivide
three (3) lots, 1519 & 1525 Shelburne Road and 5 Bartlett Bay Road.
PERMIT HISTORY
The Project is located in the Commercial 2 District. The Development Review Board on 11/21/11
removed the planned unit development designation for these three (3) lots (#SD‐11‐38) and subdivided
1519 & 1525 Shelburne Road into their present configurations. The applicant previous obtained final
plat approval from the DRB for the subdivision of these three (3) lots on March 21, 2018 (#SD‐18‐07).
The applicant allowed the approval to become null and void due to not recording the final plat within
180 days of approval. The applicant has removed most proposed improvements from the plans and is
now proposing to simply reconfigure the lot lines, with some minor exceptions discussed below. Staff
understands that the applicant intends to modify the approved site plan for the subject properties at a
later date.
COMMENTS
Development Review Planner Marla Keene (“Staff”) has reviewed the plans submitted on 1/16/2019 and
offer the following comments. Numbered items for the Board’s attention are in red.
CONTEXT
The current application is to resubdivide these lots thereby increasing the size of 1519 & 1525 Shelburne
Road and reducing the size of 5 Bartlett Bay Road. No development is planned as part of this
application.

All building, overall and front yard coverages will continue to be met. All reconfigured lots will continue to
meet the minimum lot size of 40,000 sq. ft. The new property boundaries will not increase the degree of
noncompliance with any setback requirement. The buildings on 1519 & 1525 Shelburne Road do not
currently meet the front yard setback requirement and this resubdivision will not affect that situation.
The applicant is proposing to reconfigure the Shelburne Road driveway for the northern of the two
Shelburne Road properties to remove one parking space. At the previous hearings on this matter, the
Board directed the applicant to reduce the degree of non‐conformity with front setback coverage and
parking standards by removing this parking space. The provided front setback coverage table shows no
change, however.
1. There may in fact be no change when considered in whole percentage points, but to be sure, Staff
recommends the Board ask the applicant confirm Shelburne Road front setback coverage
calculations for the next application.
The applicant is also proposing minor site improvements to include replacement of non‐conforming light
fixtures with downcast and shielded fixtures and dumpster enclosure.
